Generate a Skeleton with helm create

Bootstrapping a conventional chart layout.

You rarely build a chart from nothing. The helm create command scaffolds a complete, working chart you can edit. 🚀

helm create mychart

It builds a new directory named after your chart, filled with conventional files and folders ready to install.

mychart/
  Chart.yaml
  values.yaml
  templates/
  charts/
